More Than a Story: Teaching Our Children the Divine Console of Al-Isra’ wal-Mi’raj
As parents, we strive to equip our children with faith that is not only robust but also deeply personal. Few events in Islamic history offer a more profound foundation for this than the miraculous Night Journey and Ascension of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): Al-Isra’ wal-Mi’raj.
This isn’t just a tale of travel; it is a demonstration of Divine love, reassurance, and the immense honor bestowed upon our Prophet during his darkest hour. Teaching it correctly provides children (ages 9-14) with essential lessons in perseverance, reliance on Allah, and the status of the salah (prayer).
Al-Isra’ wal-Mi’raj free story for kids
The Context: When Faith Was Faltering
Before diving into the miracle, it’s vital that children understand the human side of the Prophet’s journey. This event took place during the ‘Am al-Huzn’ (The Year of Sorrow), following the devastating losses of his beloved wife Khadijah and his protector, uncle Abu Talib.
When teaching this: Emphasize the human struggle. This shows our children that even the greatest people face immense hardship. Allah planned this journey specifically to console His Messenger and show him that his struggles were seen and honored. This frames the entire miracle not as a show of power, but as an act of profound mercy.
Core Lessons: Highlights for Your Child
To make this story stick, focus on the following key narrative highlights:
1. The Lightning Steed and the Assembly of Prophets
The Buraq: Introduce the magnificent creature, Al-Buraq, whose name means ‘lightning.’ This instantly captures a child’s imagination.
The Imam of Prophets: The Prophet’s first stop was Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, where he led all the previous Prophets—from Adam to Isa—in prayer. This moment officially confirmed his status as the leader of all mankind, validating the entirety of his mission to every other prophet’s mission.
2. Jibril’s True Form and the Limit of Creation
The Angel’s Appearance: On the journey, the Prophet witnessed Angel Jibril in his true, magnificent form—an angel with six hundred wings, spanning the horizon. This reveals the unbelievable scope of creation that exists beyond our world.
Sidrat-ul-Muntaha: When they reached the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, Jibril stopped, stating that he could not advance further without being annihilated by the Divine Light. The Prophet continued alone. This highlights the unique honor and closeness the Prophet attained with Allah (SWT).
3. The Mercy of the Five Daily Prayers
This is the single greatest gift of the Mi’raj. Allah initially commanded fifty prayers daily. Through the advice of Prophet Musa (Moses), the Prophet repeatedly sought mercy until the number was reduced to five. Allah declared: “They are five (in number) but fifty (in reward).”
Teaching Point: Explain that we perform five acts of prayer, but receive the reward for fifty. This illustrates Allah’s unparalleled mercy and establishes the salah as our direct, personal connection to the Divine, a true gift from the Heavens.
How We Approach Miracles in 1-to-1 Online Teaching
At our 1-to-1 Islam for Kids Institute, we believe foundational stories must be taught through personalized, interactive methods. Simply reading the facts is not enough.
Our success in online education is built on:
Contextualization: We link the events of Al-Isra’ wal-Mi’raj directly to the seerah (Prophet’s biography), helping children understand why the miracle happened when it did.
Visual Engagement: We utilize digital illustrations and guided discussions (perfect for a one-on-one setting) to help students visualize Al-Buraq, the Seven Heavens, and the Sidrat-ul-Muntaha.
Application: We use activities and personalized worksheets to help students connect the story to their own salah practice and their efforts to avoid Shirk (associating partners with Allah)—two of the core gifts received during the Mi’raj.
This one-on-one attention ensures the learning is not passive, leading to high performance in both knowledge retention and practical application of Islamic values.

5 Common Mistakes Qur’an Teachers Make When Teaching Young Children Online
— and How to Avoid Them —
Enhancing Online Qur’an Education for Children
Teaching the Qur’an to young children online presents unique challenges and opportunities. While technology offers incredible reach, it also requires adapting traditional teaching methods to keep young minds engaged and inspired. This post highlights five common pitfalls online Qur’an teachers encounter and provides practical solutions to transform your virtual classroom into a vibrant, effective learning space.
By understanding these mistakes and implementing the suggested strategies, teachers can foster a deeper connection to the Qur’an in their young students, ensuring a joyful and meaningful learning journey.
1. Lack of Engagement and Visual Tools
Mistake:
Simply reading or repeating the Qur’an without using any visual aids, stories, or interactive tools.
Solution:
Make lessons more engaging by using slides, colorful flashcards, digital whiteboards, or interactive tools like Kahoot or Wordwall. These resources help children enjoy learning and retain what they learn more effectively.
2. Focusing Only on Memorization Without Meaning
Mistake:
Emphasizing rote memorization without helping children understand the meanings or connect emotionally to the Qur’an.
Solution:
Introduce simple explanations (tafsir), stories of the prophets, and real-life examples that help children appreciate and love the words of Allah from an early age.
3. Ignoring Emotional and Behavioral Needs
Mistake:
Being too strict or formal and not recognizing when a child is tired, shy, or feeling anxious.
Solution:
Begin the class with a warm and friendly approach—perhaps a light conversation or a short nasheed. Creating a safe and caring environment makes learning easier and more enjoyable for children.
4. Overloading Lessons with Long Sessions or Too Much Content
Mistake:
Teaching for extended periods or covering too much material in a single session.
Solution:
Keep lessons short and focused. Divide the time into clear parts: revision, new learning, and a brief review. End with something light and enjoyable, such as a short quiz or a story.
5. Weak Communication with Parents
Mistake:
Failing to keep parents informed or involved in their child’s Qur’an learning journey.
Solution:
Send a short weekly update, a voice message, or invite parents to observe a session occasionally. Strong parent-teacher communication greatly supports the child’s progress.
Empowering Qur’an Teachers for Success
By being mindful of these common mistakes and actively implementing these solutions, online Qur’an teachers can significantly enhance the learning experience for young children. Creating an engaging, meaningful, and supportive environment is key to nurturing their love for the Qur’an and ensuring their continued spiritual growth.

In this verse, Allah addresses the disbelievers among the People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and the polytheists. It is mentioned that they were not separated from their disbelief until a clear proof or a manifest sign came to them. This clear proof is none other than the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was sent by Allah to guide humanity.
The “clear evidence” or “clear proof” mentioned in this verse refers to the Quran and the teachings of Islam that were conveyed by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The message he brought was a decisive and undeniable proof of the truth of Islam. It was intended to remove any doubts or excuses that the disbelievers might have had regarding the guidance from Allah.
The phrase “reciting purified scriptures” emphasizes that the Quran is free from impurities, errors, or contradictions. It is a divine revelation, untainted by human influence. The Quran’s message is pure and unadulterated, and it serves as a source of guidance for all of humanity.
In summary, this verse highlights that the disbelievers, whether from the People of the Scripture or the polytheists, could not be guided until the clear evidence of Islam, represented by the Messenger of Allah and the Quran, was presented to them. This emphasizes the importance of recognizing and accepting the truth when it becomes evident, as rejecting it would only lead to their own detriment.
Verse 2 :
This verse begins by describing the Messenger (Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) as “a Messenger from Allah.” It emphasizes his role as a chosen and appointed messenger of God. His mission was to convey Allah’s message to humanity.
The verse then mentions that this Messenger recites “purified pages.” These “purified pages” refer to the revelations and scriptures sent by Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Specifically, this includes the Quran and any other revelations that were given to him. The term “purified” signifies that these scriptures are free from any errors, contradictions, or impurities. They are divine and untainted by human influence.
The Messenger’s role was to recite and convey these divine revelations to the people, ensuring that they received the pure and unadulterated message of Allah. He was a means through which Allah’s guidance and teachings were made accessible to humanity.
In essence, this verse highlights the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) pivotal role as the Messenger of Allah, entrusted with the responsibility of delivering the pure and unblemished message of Islam to the world. It emphasizes the divine nature of the Quran and underscores the importance of following the guidance it contains.
Verse 3
This verse mentions that within these purified pages and scriptures, there are “firmly established” or “upright” books. These books contain laws, guidance, and principles that are just, upright, and unchanging. These are the divine decrees and commandments revealed by Allah to guide human behavior and establish justice in society.
The term “Qayyimah” or “firmly established” signifies that these books contain teachings and laws that are steady, unalterable, and meant to remain in effect. They provide a stable and consistent framework for human conduct and morality.
These books include not only the Quran but also the previous revelations sent to the earlier Prophets, such as the Torah to Prophet Moses and the Bible to Prophet Jesus (peace be upon them). However, the Quran is seen as the final and most complete revelation, encompassing and confirming the previous scriptures while providing further guidance and clarification.
This verse highlights the importance of following the divine guidance found in these firmly established books and emphasizes that they are a source of guidance and justice for humanity. It encourages people to adhere to the principles and laws contained within them for their own benefit and the establishment of a just and righteous society.
Verse 4 :
This verse addresses the situation of the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab), referring to Jews and Christians, who had received previous scriptures from Allah. The verse begins by stating that they did not differ or become divided among themselves regarding their faith until after the clear evidence (Al-Bayyinah) had come to them.
The “clear evidence” or “clear proof” mentioned here is often understood to refer to the Quran and the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him). When the Quran was revealed, it contained clear signs and proofs that confirmed the truth of the previous scriptures and the prophethood of Muhammad. These signs and proofs were meant to unite the People of the Book in recognizing the final revelation and the last Prophet.
However, after the Quran’s revelation and the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Madinah, some among the People of the Book chose to reject the truth despite the clear evidence presented to them. They disagreed and became divided in their beliefs, some clinging to their old scriptures and traditions, while others accepted Islam.
This verse serves as a reminder of the responsibility of those who receive divine guidance to recognize and follow the truth when it becomes clear to them. It also highlights the consequences of rejecting the truth even when it is evident.
In summary, verse 4 of Surah Al-Bayyinah underscores the importance of recognizing the clear evidence and guidance from Allah and the consequences of division and disbelief among those who received previous scriptures.
Verse 5:
This verse outlines the purpose and mission of the Prophets and the divine message they were entrusted with. It states that the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab), as well as the polytheists (mushrikun), were not commanded by Allah except to worship Him with sincere devotion (mukhlisina lahu ad-din), adhering to the pure and upright religion (hunafa).
Here are the key points from Ibn Kathir’s tafsir:
The Ultimate Purpose: The primary purpose of divine guidance and Prophethood is to guide humanity toward the worship of Allah alone. This worship includes not only acts of ritual worship but also encompasses a comprehensive way of life that aligns with divine guidance.
Sincerity in Worship: True worship requires sincerity (ikhlas) where individuals worship Allah without associating partners with Him. It implies single-minded devotion and purity of intention in acts of worship.
Upright Religion (Hunafa): The term “hunafa” refers to an upright and uncorrupted religious path that leads to monotheism. It signifies turning away from polytheism, idolatry, and false beliefs, and adhering to the pure teachings of monotheism.
Establishing Prayer: Part of this religious path is the establishment of prayer (iqamatus-salat). This involves not only performing the prescribed prayers but also maintaining regularity, devotion, and humility in one’s prayer.
Giving Zakat: Another integral aspect of this religion is the obligation of giving zakat, which is a form of almsgiving and charity. Paying zakat demonstrates one’s commitment to social justice and concern for the well-being of the less fortunate.
The Religion of Uprightness (Din al-Qayyimah): The verse concludes by describing this religion as “din al-qayyimah,” which can be translated as the religion of uprightness or the religion that stands firm. It emphasizes the stability and steadfastness of this religion, which is based on monotheism, sincerity, and righteous deeds.
In summary, verse 5 of Surah Al-Bayyinah underscores the core elements of the divine message, emphasizing the worship of Allah with sincerity, the establishment of prayer, and the giving of zakat. This religion is described as upright and uncorrupted, built on the foundation of monotheism and righteousness.
Verse 6:
This verse describes the ultimate fate of those who disbelieved from among the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab) and the polytheists (mushrikun). It states that they will abide in the Hellfire eternally (khalideena fiha). These individuals are referred to as “sharr al-bariyah,” which translates to “the worst of creatures” or “the worst of beings.”
Here are the key points from Ibn Kathir’s tafsir:
Eternal Punishment: The verse emphasizes the severity of the punishment awaiting those who disbelieved. They will be confined to the Hellfire for all of eternity, with no respite or escape from its torment. This serves as a warning to those who reject the truth and engage in disbelief.
Ahl al-Kitab and Mushrikun: The verse specifically mentions two categories of disbelievers: the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) and the polytheists. This inclusion highlights that the rejection of faith and the rejection of the Prophet Muhammad’s message can occur among various religious groups.
“Sharr al-Bariyah” (The Worst of Creatures): This phrase is used to describe the disbelievers mentioned in the verse. It conveys the gravity of their disbelief and its consequences. They are considered the worst of all creatures due to their rejection of divine guidance despite receiving clear signs and messages.
Spiritual Consequences: The verse serves as a reminder of the spiritual consequences of disbelief and the rejection of divine guidance. It underscores the importance of recognizing the truth when it is presented and following the path of righteousness.
In summary, verse 6 of Surah Al-Bayyinah emphasizes the eternal punishment awaiting those who disbelieved from among the People of the Book and the polytheists. Their rejection of faith and persistent disbelief are described as the worst of traits, leading them to abide in the Hellfire indefinitely. This serves as a warning about the consequences of rejecting divine guidance.
Verse 7:
This verse highlights the reward and status of those who believe in Allah and perform righteous deeds. It states that such individuals are the best of creatures (khayr al-bariyah). This verse serves as a contrast to the previous verse, which described the eternal punishment of disbelievers.
Here are the key points from Ibn Kathir’s tafsir:
The Excellence of Believers: The verse begins with the phrase “Inna allatheena amanoo” (Verily, those who believe), emphasizing the importance of faith in Allah. Belief is the foundation of righteousness and good deeds.
Righteous Deeds: In addition to faith, the verse mentions “wa ‘amiloo as-salihat” (and perform righteous deeds). This signifies that true faith is not just a matter of words but also requires actions that align with faith. Righteous deeds include acts of worship, kindness, charity, and moral conduct.
The Best of Creatures: The verse concludes by stating that those who believe and perform righteous deeds are “khayr al-bariyah,” which translates to “the best of creatures” or “the best of beings.” This is a high honor and status bestowed upon believers by Allah.
Distinction from the Previous Verse: This verse provides a stark contrast to the previous verse, which described the disbelievers as the worst of creatures due to their rejection of faith and persistent disbelief. In contrast, believers are described as the best of creatures because of their faith and good deeds.
Spiritual Message: The verse conveys a profound spiritual message. It emphasizes that the true measure of excellence lies in faith in Allah and the practice of righteous deeds. Believers are recognized as the best of creatures due to their commitment to these principles.
In summary, verse 7 of Surah Al-Bayyinah emphasizes the excellence and high status of those who believe in Allah and perform righteous deeds. They are described as the best of creatures, highlighting the importance of faith and good deeds in Islam. This verse serves as a reminder of the spiritual reward and honor granted to those who live a life of faith and righteousness.
Verse 8:
This verse describes the reward and eternal bliss that awaits those who believe in Allah, perform righteous deeds, and fear Him. It paints a vivid picture of the Paradise (Jannah) that Allah has prepared for them.
Here are the key points from Ibn Kathir’s tafsir:
Reward in the Hereafter: The verse begins by stating that the believers’ reward will be with their Lord (jaza’uhum ‘inda rabbihim). This signifies that the ultimate reward and recompense for their faith and good deeds will be in the Hereafter, with Allah.
Description of Paradise: The verse describes Paradise as “Jannatun ‘Adn” (Gardens of Eden). This indicates that Paradise is not a temporary abode but an everlasting and eternal dwelling place for the believers.
Bountiful Rivers: It mentions that beneath these gardens flow rivers (tajri min tahtiha al-anhar). Rivers are a symbol of abundance, freshness, and the pleasures of Paradise. Believers will enjoy the blessings of flowing rivers in their eternal abode.
Eternal Abode: The verse emphasizes that those who enter Paradise will dwell therein forever (khalideena feeha abadan). This highlights the everlasting nature of the reward and the absence of any hardships or difficulties.
Divine Pleasure: It mentions that Allah is pleased with them (radhiya Allahu ‘anhum) and that they are pleased with Him (waradu ‘anhu). This mutual satisfaction underscores the deep spiritual contentment and joy experienced by the inhabitants of Paradise.
Condition: Fear of Allah: The verse concludes by stating that this reward is for those who fear their Lord (thalika liman khashiya rabbahu). Fear of Allah here refers to a profound reverence, awareness of His presence, and mindfulness of His commands.
In summary, verse 8 of Surah Al-Bayyinah describes the magnificent reward that awaits those who believe in Allah, perform righteous deeds, and maintain a deep reverence for their Lord. They will be granted eternal residence in the Gardens of Eden, with flowing rivers, and will experience the divine pleasure of Allah. This verse serves as a source of motivation and encouragement for believers to strive for righteousness and maintain their consciousness of Allah’s presence in their lives.

Today, people behave more impatiently. So in this environment where people are not ready to bear others or forgive others, this hadith will teach them to forgive others, say sorry, and keep away from any kind of quarrel.
In this session, we are presenting two important incidents/stories from the Life of Muhammad SAW and Shabah.
The first is about scolding and calling names and the second is about fighting.
